Right now I am working to become a female figure fitness competitor but my true passion is in bodybuilding. I am very small to begin with only 5feet, do you think it would be a bit to much to become a bodybuilder for my size? My family tells me not to do it, they think it looks rediculous, but I really would like to try it, but still am worried about my families views.

I think professional female bodybuilding is even more of a mess than professional male bodybuilding. I think amateur/recreational female bodybuilding, however, is a great health-venture that can give females great bodies. The image of girls about to fall off the cliff into manhood is not what real female bodybuilding is. Real female bodybuilders actually have more intense curves and are more feminine than the females who do not weight lift.

I am not a fan of the bodies that extreme bodybuilders of any gender exhibit....I would say that by looking at the competetion(as with any game) you will get an idea of what You MUST do to compete and then determine how far along that path you wish to tread. This requires many HOURS each day in a gym and many HOURS a day out side a gym preparing yourself mentally for the pain both physical and emotional that is engendered in any competetion. GO to several actual events and talk to the competitors and see if that is what you want to do with your life...and most importantly ask to talk to some former competitors and ask them what sort of injuries they now have to baby along because you WILL be injured... And last but not least find out IF a very petite woman can really compete or if all the winners are REALLY BIG up, down, and all around...Good luck...

Size does not matter, i myself am male but stand at only 5' 2". But i really enjoy bodybuilding. The advantage of being small is our muscles dont take much pumping to look big. Plus it's so much easier for us to lose fat that a larger person. I think your family will think differently when they see you compete and hopefully lift a few trophies.
Are you going to do it naturally? Please do as steriods are a quick fix and have so many side effects.
I have an HND in fitness, health and exercise and finished top in my year so if you need someone to talk to about things please email me at: weeman247@yahoo.co.uk
Good luck

Go do it!.
Figure Fitness is different from Bodybuilding and you can be successful with your height. It is much more healthy as you don't have to go to crazy lengths to reduce body fat. Most families have wrong notions about bodybuilding, specially about women in the sport. Believe in yourself as you have better information baout the sport and know what you want to achieve.

If you have no concept on how to cook tasty meals. If you are boarded of the exact same foods and want to consider something distinct but in the identical time healthy than you need to have a plan

Why waste your life?
No man is going to want you. You are making yourself ugly. Tone and fit and built is attractive. She-hulk is not.
